Tutorial

1

Lie on your back on an exercise mat or a soft surface. Your legs are bent and your feet are flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
2

Place your hands behind your head or over your chest, whichever is comfortable for you. Your elbows should be pointing outwards.
3

Start in a neutral position with your chin tilted slightly towards your chest to relieve pressure on your neck.
4

Inhale and lower your upper body back to the floor in a controlled manner. Make sure that your shoulder blades touch the floor.
5

Exhale and contract your abdominal muscles as you raise your upper body.
6

Raise your upper body towards your knees until you are in a sitting position. Keep your feet firmly on the floor.
7

Lower your upper body back to the floor in a controlled manner until your shoulder blades touch the floor again.

Tip

Keep your back on the floor throughout the movement and make sure your neck is relaxed. Your feet should be flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart, or you can lift them up to make the exercise more challenging. Exhale as you come up and inhale as you return to the starting position.
